Cash's Chicken

We drove from Lexington based on a family member's recommendation and I am happy we did. The Cash's Signature Salad was amazing and the chicken tenders were a hit for my 2 year-old and my husband. Staff was super sweet (even after my son accidentally dropped his juice on the floor...sorry guys) and at end of the night, the manager even gave us some leftover crossaints. Thank you for a great experience and we will be back soon!

So I made the drive all the way from Lexington to try this joint. This place was good but definitely not amazing. I ordered the 4 tender meal with fries. I also ordered the mash potatoes and cole slaw so that I could say that I tried most of the sides. The guy who was the cashier told me my meal came with cole slaw. To my dismay I got all the way to my car and was pulling off before I realized he was wrong. It didn’t come with cole slaw😔. So I didn’t get to try that. He also charged me 75cents to switch out the cash’s sauce for barbecue sauce. Why ? It was even swap🤷🏽‍♀️. Didn’t care for that. Anyway, the fries were those extra crispy crinkle cuts. While they were hot, they were not good. This is just a personal preference however. I hate extra crispy fries. Those went out the window on my way home. The mashed potatoes were stiff and not creamy with barely melted shredded cheese on them topped with salty bacon bits👎. Not good. The best thing were the tenders. They were not too greasy or salty. They were juicy and tender. That 75cent homemade barbecue sauce paired very well with it. Overall, the people were friendly and the establishment was clean. The price was also reasonable. My food came to about 13bucks and that was including the drink which comes with pretty much every meal. Overall I would return but only if I happen to be in the neighborhood.

We love to support local restaurants and businesses with our $. While overall it was good, we unfortunately won't be back. The tenders are better than Zaxby's and obviously hand made but their selection is small, that's all they really do. My daughter had the 4 tenders and my wife and I had their chick dog. While a clever idea, there wasn't much there. A single small tender on a mini hotdogs bun. You get 2 and some fries for $9, pricey. The chicken was overwhelmed by too much bread and not enough chicken, no real seaoning or sauce on it either. Also we were told it had ham and bacon on it by the employee, hard pressed I finally found 2 bacon bits the size of my pinky nail. We were disappointed in portion size vs price as well as no "house" flavor. Nothing special. But we wish them the best.

This place has really good tenders and sauce similar to Cane’s. The tenders are small because they are the actual tenders of the chicken (which tends to be a smaller, higher quality cut of chicken), they are not chicken strips (which is the chicken breast cut up). The meals come with drinks and are fairly priced. The fries were hot and crispy and the honey butter croissant is the best part of the meal!

There's no fried chicken?!

We dined in in Tuesday. Crowded at lunchtime, but we had our order taken right away. We might be missing something, but the only menu options were 3, 4, or 5 tenders.

I did the four tender meal, fries, and got a bird dog on the side.

First, the food was ready quickly, and the fries and chicken were nice and hot. Chicken was seasoned well.

But damn. The size of the tenders? They're small! Like McDonald chicken nugget small. Now Chappy's at Palmetto Crossing, their tenders are HUGE and less expensive. The size was disappointing to the price of the meal.

The bird dog was good! Honey mustard with bacon on a chicken tender, all within a bun. But again, the size was disappointing.

Cash's tasted great, but the portion size was disappointing. And still trying to grasp how a chicken restaurant doesn't sell fried chicken.

On a positive note, the staff was very friendly and attentive. Decent sweet tea as well. The decor was nice, but the restaurant menu just gave the vibe of a glofified Zaxby's.

We will return, though Cash's isn't the type restaurant we'd visit frequently, since the menu is so narrow. Hopefully in the future I can review them again.
